1. BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
2. Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits–
3. Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
4. Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
5. Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]! [Isa. 40:31.]
6. The Lord executes righteousness and justice [not for me only, but] for all who are oppressed.
7. He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.
8. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and loving-kindness. [James 5:11.]
9. He will not always chide or be contending, neither will He keep His anger forever or hold a grudge.
10. He has not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
